As with short links, it’s very difficult to know what websites QR codes link to without actually testing them. Most QR code scanners display a site’s URL before you visit it, but this URL could still conceal the final domain and there’s no foolproof way of knowing it’s safe. I often use QR codes, so I was pleased to discover that Kaspersky has just released an app (bit.ly/qr365) that solves this problem by automatically scanning sites before directing you to them. 

Check whether QR codes are safe on Android or iOS
Kaspersky QR Scanner app is available on iOS and Android devices

I was worried that it might slow things down, but the app is remarkably fast and you can rest assured that the links you visit are malware-free. Since downloading Kaspersky QR Scanner, I’ve not used my old QR scanner once!
